Elevator Pitch: StorageByMail

StorageByMail lets customers ship away their clutter to a storage facility.  Inc Magazine ask if we can raise capital and offers advice on how to grow the business.  

Fox 5 News in New York aired an interview with our CEO, Dan Hughes.  Check it out: 

If you've been keeping up with us, you know just how busy it's been around our neck of the woods lately.  Boxes are arriving, our facility is humming, media is calling and we are rolling out more convinient ways to store your stuff.  All this activity; we need to spread the word about our award-winning company. 

  We are looking for talented, passionate people with great ideas, engaging and fun personalities to get the attention of New Yorkers...and thats not a task for the faint of heart.

  Our street team (Team Box'er) is out and about every week in the Spring and early Summer to inform New Yorkers about StorageByMail.com's money saving, headache soothing way to store your stuff from anywhere at anytime.  StorageByMail takes the “self” out of self-storage. Instead of schlepping their earthly possessions to a concrete, shady cubicle, New Yorkers let us (and the Postal Service) do the heavy lifting and ship their boxes to a central warehouse shared by Bloomingdales and Tommy Hilfiger.  Cool right?

  Members of Team Box'ers are paid $15 per hour and also get discounts on storing your own stuff (valued at $100 per month).   We work both indoors and outdoors to promote StorageByMail.com.  Events include flyer distribution, and membership drives at busy locations in the city, festivals and other special events.

  You will be a perfect match if you are:

Outgoing and forward-thinking.

A talker (to other people, not yourself).

An influencer (can you talk someone into just about anything).

A promoter of yourself and things you believe in.

Someone who knows how to have fun!.

Available to work two-three 5-6 hour shifts per week

If you you or someone you know is looking for a position in a young, start-up that knows how to have fun first, let us know!

Send your resume, or summary of experience in an MS Word attachment or in the body of an email to [email protected].  Enter "Team Box'er" in subject line.

Give a brief summary of why you would be awesome on our team!

Be sure to include your current contact information.

      Storage by Mail: The Netflix for Storing Your Stuff

  It was exactly 11 years ago when Daniel Hughes, CEO of Storage by Mail, conceptualized the idea.  He had just finished is undergraduate work and moved to a small apartment on the upper east side of New York City.  “My apartment was 400 square feet and they advertised it as a one bedroom…it was the tiniest apartment you could imagine.  I actually think 400 square feet was being generous.  It didn’t have a single closet, so I had to get creative like hanging my bicycle from the ceiling,” Hughes describes.  Knowing that he needed to find some extra space Hughes did what most people do, which is jump online and find the nearest storage facility.
